Its so hard to find the right words to try to begin to express the mixture of emotions from race day. When my alarm went off at 5am I already had my Team Myles shirt laid out with the rest of my outfit and gear, breakfast was planned and anything I could have ready was […]

Twas the weeks before the Bluenose when all through the town Team Myles was running Up hills and down With Gill taking lead and Jo-Ann in the back The mentors were spaced to give us some slack Tina and Leanne both kept to the centre If you ran into problems you were always near […]

I cannot believe that the Scotiabank Bluenose Marathon Event Weekend is here. In 12 hours from now, we will be lining up ready to run the 10K at 8:05 am. This is everything that Team Myles 2016 has been training for since March 12th. I cannot express in words how incredibly thankful I am for […]

All throughout our training I’ve been having a hard time on the hills in Point Pleasant Park. I decided on the first day that I wasn’t able to run them without walking and each time we run I mentally psych myself out before I even give it an honest try. With raceday quickly approaching I […]

For our last Tuesday training session we decided to forgo the hill and tackle the race route. Everyone was nervous and trying to decide the best running plan for their personal goal. I knew from the weekend that I could do 5k with no walking breaks so I decided to set my sights on that […]

Picture it. Halifax. May 10th, 2016. 6:30 PM. Team Myles runs the Scotiabank Bluenose Marathon Goodlife FITNESS 10K route. The coaches and the mentors said we were ready for a practice run. The farthest I had ever ran was 6.22K and that was the previous Saturday. Run the full 10K route?!??! Are they crazy?!?! I was […]

Tonight I went to TAYS Yoga. As this was yet something else new that I was doing with the Bluenose Marathon, I sheepishly walked in to a room where several other people were sitting quietly. You could hear a pin drop as I clumsily stomped my way in to the room.I was warmly welcomed, given […]

And so it begins; tonight was the opening launch for TeamMyles 2016. My level of excitement has for some reason been sharply contrasted by the strong feeling of anxiety as I make my way in to the room. But then, that is one of the reasons why I need to be here: a few years […]

On May 12 I had the pleasure of running in the 2016 CUA Lung Run with a few Team Myles members to help raise awareness for lung health. We had team training that morning and had run 10:1s for 7-8k so I wasn’t sure how smoothly the evening run was going go but we rocked […]

As we are getting closer to the ScotiaBank Bluenose Marathon my nerves are kicking in. We have been running twice a week, attending 360 fit bootcamps and TAYS yoga classes to help make our bodies and minds strong but not having run that distance yet plays with your self confidence. My friend and fellow Myles […]
